Comfort is very useful for road trips when you set the cruise and following distance. If you don't have Comfort selected, every time your set speed is faster than the car in front of you, when they move out of your way the car accelerates too aggressively up to the set speed. With Comfort, once the road opens up the cruise will gently take you to the set speed. Otherwise, every time traffic bobs in and out of your lane in front of you, the car is gunning it and you're wasting gas for nothing.
Ive found on my 2018 S3 that "auto" mode is basically the default "middle" setting. It revs out higher and gives me more boost after 4000 RPM compared to "comfort", the throttle is a bit more sensitive to input on "auto" mode compared to "comfort". So, auto is a nice balanced mode the way I see it. Dynamic of course is ferocious power at all times LOL, I get into trouble REALLY fast in dynamic, only use if I know I am going to race. Comfort I only use on long highway rides. In any mode though, my S3 is incredibly fun to drive because there is so much power and it handles extremely well.
I'm in a city and use comfort mode most of the time as I can't drive that fast anyway. It makes for a smooth and dignified drive. I switch to dynamic on the highway - love hitting the on-ramp and letting the car take off.
I use comfort four when I'm taking long trips on i-95 or going cross-country and it's basically just what it sounds like, comfort and it gives you the best and most comfortable ride experience imo.
comfort changes the steering ratio in opposite of dynamic. dynamic is less wheel turn for a corner, comfort is more wheel turning for the same corner. The are many more things like shift moment suspension exhaust etc check your manual
thank you for this. i recently leased my second audi & didn't understand the functions. i keep it in comfort because dynamic drains the gas fast. but the performance is worth it.
Audi performance and handling is great! I miss that because I’m driving a Jetta now….so far no electronics issues with the Jetta though but it’s such a boring car to drive.
Comfort mode for me is anytime I’m traveling. But a quick 15 min drive to the gym is dynamic. Auto is when it’s a drive under 45 min and you don’t know what you’ll want ;)
Love these comments - not a single shred of fact to support what anyone is saying. Subliminal suggestion maybe? Oh dynamic must be faster cos it’s called ‘dynamic’…. Really helpful. Where’s the facts and figures
I know there's no video Comfort is good if you're driving in the city cuz you'll burn less gas and still have power and I noticed that cuz if you keep it in Comfort mode even if you give it a little gas and get on it your gas it tells you that you're getting like 26 Mi to the gallon 20 mi to the gallon even if it's in the city if you keep it uncomfortable if you put it in Dynamic even if you're driving slow you still getting very low gas mileage so if you worry about your gas store in the week and you live in town you're driving into town every day comfortable will save you a lot on your gas
This is well-said and perfectly explains why to use comfort mode in an Audi! Thank you very much for sharing. The Audi was great for comfort and performance but I drive an Acura Integra now.
I use comfort because there’s no need to waste that much gas just driving around. At $5.50 a gallon with a V8 S5, I spend $75 every 4-5 days in normal mode. Dynamic mode is worse. I have to fill up every 2 days.
YIKES! Since I filmed this video, this car became riddled with electronics issues. Long story short, I got out of it when used car prices went ballistic and purchased a Jetta as an interim ride. That car is boring and lacks performance but when I put it on Eco Mode, I get well over 40MPG. I'm thinking about picking up a BMW 2 Series M (without run-flat tires) next.
Not everyone buys an Audi as a performance car and the Q3 for example, certainly is not. My wife takes to kids to games with hers. Even in Dynamic mode it's not a performance car with the 2 Liter Turbo engine. She is fine with Comfort mode. I use it in Dynamic but find that shifting gears myself provides better results: higher revs.
Honestly I was looking for the comfort setting because I don’t want to pull into work everyday with an annoyingly loud engine. I work in tech so a loud car just brands me differently and I keep a different persona for work lol
The tech unfortunately ruined this car for me. Handling, performance, comfort a d styling were all great but the electronics failed resulting in an “SOS” error.
I’m not familiar with that mode. By the way, I love the avatar! Be sure to subscribe to my channel and check out my raccoon videos playlist. George Cooney the Raccoon & Crew publish videos there quite frequently!
I was driving in comfort mode when I first bought my rs3 sports edition mainly cos the car had been driven 50miles when I bought it and I wanted to make sure my engine was run.. not sure I needed to do this but it was my way of taking care of the love of my life lol.. also I thought I would be saving on fuel I have only been using super unleaded which Is kind of expensive.. now my car has 8 thousand miles and I always drive in dynamic mode switching between sports and drive when I need to.. dynamic mode and comfort mode having given me the same mpg which is kind of strange for me to understand.. I dont get why u would have auto sports and auto drive mode if auto is suppose to adjust to your driving automatically....
I have a3 when I use it with comfort mode it feals powerfull like dynamic what I found is when using comfort than swict to sport plus from gear than that is even more powerfull strange I think auto is best for me anyways
@@selimyetkin5664I have a 2023 a3. I was on auto but didn’t really feel fast. I am on dynamic now. But I leave I’m drive. So if I put in comfort it’s the same? Do you go in between sport and drive? I’m new to Audi. So not sure what best way to drive. I do outside sales so don’t want it killing gas but also not slow. Can you let me know. Can I go in sport mode in any driver mode? That confuses me
I think I'm right in saying that Sport mode refers to the powertrain/transmission. Selecting dynamic mode normally automatically allocates Sport Mode for the transmission. However by using the shifter you can change your transmission mode no matter what drive select mode you are in i.e you can switch D or S transmission modes in confort, auto, dynamic or individual drive select options. Please let me know if this correct.
Thats also my question. Doest slapping the shifter down make it go into dynamic + sport transmission ? Or does it just tweak the transmission? When I wanna change quickly from whatever mode to dynamic to I have to click through all modes ? Or do I just move the gear stick down? 🤯
In dynamic the throttle response is faster. So you have to push the throttle less to get the same acceleration. The engine's horsepower remains the same.
To my knowledge that's not an Audi drive mode selection. I think that Audi launch mode entails turning of traction control, kicking into sport mode and then mashing the brake before releasing to accelerate rapidly from zero mph. I've never tried Audi launch. Have you?
@@IrixGuy I just got my s5 Cab and don't have Launch..but then again, from what I understand, it's not a drive mode but a way to best gauge 0-60 speed times or whatever distance you choose. Not a big deal to me although no doubt the most real way to experience the pinned to the back of your seat abilities of these cars. I'm plenty happy doing that in tiptronic mode using the paddles and rapidly shifting up..indeed this car does fly.
switch to dynamic, turn off the ESC, full brake with your left leg, full throttle with your right leg, maintain high rpm 6-8 and release the brake when you're ready!
@@IrixGuy I wouldn't drive my audis on the highway in another mode than comfort. We have rough roads where I live and putting in comfort with ACC and lane assist I can nearly go to sleep lol
Worst explanation ever…. Comfort your shocks are a little better, steering wheel more fluid, exhaust is more quite, and designed for a less bumpy road like dynamic or individual.
@@IrixGuy I’m glad you did this barefooted ppl act like you wake up with shoes on..Um no lol I love that you are proud of your car it’s modes and feet btw u encouraged me to buy this car as it’s been a dream car the note is alil high but boooooy is it not the best Audi iv ever owned!!
![NISAMANEE - TADA (ท้าดา) [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hcQHEPMmJpU/mqdefault.jpg)
Comfort mode is for carrying your girlfriend around without acceleration hitting her in the back. That's for later.
That's a funny way to explain it LOL

Awesome! Yes, this car accelerates nicely! #Audi
I recently put in comfort mode on a 2 hour road trip with the kids. It was in cruise and very comfortable.
It is a comfortable ride but the electronics issues ruined it. I now drive an Acura Integra that has been 100% reliable so far (after 10,000 miles).
Love this video. Straight to the point! No explanation of the obvious.

When I purchased my 2019 S5 the sales guy showed me Launch Mode. Your description of how to is correct. Yes I’ve used it a few times. It rips.
Yes, these Audis fly! The Quattro is insane and the S and RS are sadistic! #Audi
Totally lol. I own a 2019 s5 myself. It’s definitely a fast car. People don’t expect it either
comfort changes the steering ratio in opposite of dynamic. dynamic is less wheel turn for a corner, comfort is more wheel turning for the same corner. The are many more things like shift moment suspension exhaust etc check your manual
Thanks for sharing.
does it also change the suspension, like make it a more comfortable ride?
I feel that it also makes the car quiter

Audi performance and handling is great! I miss that because I’m driving a Jetta now….so far no electronics issues with the Jetta though but it’s such a boring car to drive.
Comfort mode feels like the controls are not as touchy. Suspension feels “softer” as well.
That’s a great description.
comfort also adjusts suspension over bumps so its less noticeable since the newer audi comes with air suspension from factory
That's cool about the air suspension. I didn't know that!
What i think? I think you need some socks and shoes lol, cheers
ROFL only for formal events :).
@@IrixGuy all fun and games buddy 🐒
Comfort mode for me is anytime I’m traveling. But a quick 15 min drive to the gym is dynamic. Auto is when it’s a drive under 45 min and you don’t know what you’ll want ;)
That's a great explanation for the various Audi drive modes =). Thanks for sharing!
I like Comfort mode. It’s a relaxed and peaceful drive for cruising.
It is a smooth ride.
NAH THE TOES ON 1:30 IS CRAZY💀💀💀
Comfort mode means comfortable and effortless to drive whilst still being a beast if you want to floor it. The other modes are a waste of time.
Love these comments - not a single shred of fact to support what anyone is saying. Subliminal suggestion maybe? Oh dynamic must be faster cos it’s called ‘dynamic’…. Really helpful.

Comfort if you like a real loose wheel while you drive. Super smooth in comfort. But that's usually my to and from work drive mode nothing else 😅

Anyone have any recs for customizing Individual?
Honestly, I typically just drove in the normal mode.
Honestly I was looking for the comfort setting because I don’t want to pull into work everyday with an annoyingly loud engine. I work in tech so a loud car just brands me differently and I keep a different persona for work lol
LOL this Audi is quiet, even in sports mode. Pull up in a McClaren and care less about what others think. Be the boss of your own life!
why is nobody talking about how he has his grippers out put them dogs away
Great question!
Dynamic will definitely throw your headback when launched correctly.
It did for sure
no additional hp in dynamic just if you thought it gave you x hp ... just suspension and shifting improvement ...
Y’all need to try comfort sport it brings out the best sounds from the engine. Yah a i4
I ended up getting out of this car when used car prices spiked. It was great except for all of the electronics issues :( #Audi
Does the 2016 Audi A6 have the different modes ? My supercharged 2015 Q7 does.
I assume that it likely does. The A4 is a rather entry-level Audi, so it'd be strange to not have that in an A6.
I use comfort on my b9, other wise I will be getting in alot of trouble all the time.
:)) Yes :))
bros got the dogs out
Yup
0:02 What a Sasquatch! LOL WOW I didn't realized that in the stone age they already had such nice high-tech Audi cars.
The tech unfortunately ruined this car for me. Handling, performance, comfort a d styling were all great but the electronics failed resulting in an “SOS”
error.
How do you turn off , off road mode?

I have an a4 2011 but it’s always on dynamic. I don’t know how to change it to auto or comfort. Anyone can help? Thanks
Does it not have a physical button or an option through the MMI's screen?
I use the comfort setting cuz it’s….comfortable. 😂
LOL. I never used it because using it made me feel uncomfortable.
@@IrixGuy I feel like the car is more jerky on take off when it’s on auto. I’m in a 2019 A7. Comfort just feels good lol

Not sure. I don't have eco mode on mine....at least that I'm aware of. #Audi

S feels more powerful
Maybe comfort would be good to silent the engine roar and have some peace?!
This thing doesn’t roar…very little HP.
I have a whole week waiting for my B9 and I’m asking myself so much questions. So dynamic is sport mode but Sport mode is not dynamic drive select ?
There is Auto, Dynamic, Comfort and Individual all have “S” mode.

Put in dynamic and disable traction control, that is true sport mode
I save gas and it’s a smoother ride in comfort.
I’m going to start using comfort more too because gas is $$$$$$$ now ⛽️
I use comfort when I'm on a road trip with the kids in the back and my wife is driving.
Great use case
Does it accelerate faster in dynamic or is it just stiffer? I thought S gear mode made the difference alone in accs.
Dynamic seems to accelerate faster, handling feels different and the exhaust make different sounds. #Audi
In dynamic the throttle response is faster. So you have to push the throttle less to get the same acceleration. The engine's horsepower remains the same.
Dynamic makes the throttle response quicker and opens the air valves more…
@@IrixGuy are u sure about sound?
What’s the difference between dynamic D (drive) and dynamic S (sport) mode?
"Dynamic s" feels more aggressive.
For me it just switches to semi manual shifters
I use comfort when i want to save gas and be lowkey in the streets
That’s a great use case for comfort mode. #Audi
Are you still in the market for some footwear? Lol.
LOL I go barefoot whenever possible.
is it safe to change the drives modes while driving ?
I usually only changed them while at a red light.
Yes
Comfort for downtown driving, I dont trust the "eco" mode lol
